UNITED STATES EDWARD G. PATTERSON, OF BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA.

DETONATING TOY.

Application filed February 14, 1923. Serial No.` 618,574.

T all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, EDWARD G. PATTERSON, acitizen of the United States, residing at Bismarck, in the county of Burleigh and State of North Dakota, have invented new and useful Improvements in Detonating Toys (Case A), of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a novelty, and more particularly to a device including a noise making structure in combination with an article depositing` or releasing structure which operate in unison.

Another object of the invention is to provide, in a device as specified a crank operated rotary member which is adapted to carry aplurality of explosive caps or the like which are discharged at pre-determined intervals.

G ther objects of the invention will appear in the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the improved novelty showing the casing door open.

Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the novelty taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, the improved novelty comprises a suitable housing 1 one side of which is open and isnormally closed by a hinged door 2. A shaft 3 is rotatably carried by the housing 1 and has a crank handle 4 thereon to facilitate rotation of the shaft. A drum 5 is carried b v the shaft 3 and is rotatable therewith. A plurality of radial teeth 6 are formed upon the perimeter of the drum 5 and each of the teeth is provided with a cap receiving depression 7 in its fiat surface S which is adapted to receive an ordinary cap, such as used in toy cap pistols. A hammer 9 is pivotally connected as shown at l() within the housing 1 and it is urged into cap (jlischarging position by means of a spring 11. As the shaft 3 is rotated, the hammer 9 will be moved oiu'wardly by the tooth (j with which it is in engagement, until' the head 12 of the hammer passes over the outermost point of the said tooth which will release the tooth and permit the spring 11 to reflex, for moving the hammer forcibly against'the succeeding teeth 6 causing the discharging of the cap carried thereby.

A hopper 14 is carried by the top of the housing 1 and vthis hopper is adapted to contain a plurality of relatively smallobjects,

such las beans, peas or similar articles as pending arm 2l is formed upon the sli de 18 and extends downwardly in the path of the teeth 6 so that the slide 18 will be operated by rotation of the drum 5. A spring 22 is connected to the slide for returning it to its normal position after operation. The teeth 6, arm 21 and hammer 9 are located so that the slide 17 and the hammer 9 will be oper-y ated simultaneously or in close sequence.

-The hopper 14: may be filled by removing the removable cover 28.

It is, of course, to be understood that the invention may be constructed in other manners and the parts associated in different relations and, therefore, I do not desire to be limited in any manner except as set forth in the claims hereunto appended.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is 1. In a device as set forth, a housing, a drum rotatable within said housing, and a plurality of radiating teeth upon the perimeter of t-he drum, said teeth provided with cap receiving recesses, and means operated by rotation of the drum for discharging caps in said recesses, and article dispensing means carried by said housing and operable by rotation of said drum to dispense articles.

2. In a device as set forth, a housing, a drum rotatable within said housing, and a plurality of radiating teeth upon the perimeter of the drum, said teeth provided with cap receiving recesses, and means operated by rotation ofthe drum for discharging capsl in said recesses, a hopper carried by said housing, a chute communicating with said hopper and opening out through the housing, and means operated by rotation of said drum for controlling the dispensing of articles from said hopper into said chute.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

EDWARD oJrarTERsoN.
